Ubuntu 8.10 server doesn't boot into GDM / X

[Daevid Vincent]

I installed 8.10 server, then added Gnome and all that goodness on top.
 
When I boot however (and I swear this WAS working a week or so ago and I just did some updates today as per the update icon arrow), XDM doesn't auto start.
 
I have /etc/init.d/gdm starting in 3,4,5
x11-common in 2,3,4,5
and xserver-wacom (i don't have a wacom anything) in 2,3,4,5
 
If I login and "startx" it works fine but bawks about user switching or something. if I manually just "/etc/init.d/gdm start" it fires up and works like a champ.
 
So I'm confused as to where the disconnect is and why it isn't' starting with the other services?
